Johnson wins for third time this season

LONG POND, Pa. — Emporia native Clint Bowyer took 15th Sunday at Pocono Raceway, never leading a lap in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race. He earned 29 points and $120,343. Bowyer is still third in the point standings at 452, 18 behind Carl Edwards and 69 behind Jimmie Johnson.
